Why is this new chester barrie suit so cheap?

[Tano]

Only 130 pounds for a new chester barrie suit from a guy with > 2000 feedback at 99.8%. Is it fake or just a cheap line?

'Chester' is a diffusion line. I can't speak to the quality but it's assuredly below Chester Barrie quality.

so the good quality fully canvassed suits would have "Chester Barrie" like this label? http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$%28KGrHqMOK...%7E%7E0_12.JPG

it definitely says it's pre-owned in the listing

also it looks pretty uninspiring, even for £130

i'm not a huge chester barry fan at the best of times, it's too full and I think a bit of a A&S rip off

I wish these sellers would proofread their listings! It says "new" at the top, and "gently used" in the description. That's straying into deception territory.
Yesterday I sent notifications to 6 different sellers that their pull-over sweaters were listed as "cardigans".

How hard can it be to get that right?

The title says new and the item description says New With Tags.

I didnt read the item condition since i thought it was irrelevant because i assumed it was new.
